The last several days — and it isn’t really over yet — have been consumed by the huge yard/estate sale managed and operated by Ivi, Marina, Sandy and Lauren, with volunteer assists from some parents and friends. (Yours truly was on hard for some some input here and there, but mostly in the background, especially due to my accidental attempts to sever a thumb and finger — which has also impaired the ability to do much camera work or computer keyboarding.) Officially underway for only two days, people are still appearing to try to make the odd bargain purchase. Over 40 people were queued up, started an hour early, for the opening bell. The free ice water, iced tea and, especially, lemonade were consumed at prodigious rates. As luck would have it, Saturday’s temp hit 102 F. and today — still sorting the residual items for donation, craigslisting, ebay-ing, whatever — is forecast to hit 106.
